What this video is about
Brown bears often leave half of their caught salmon uneaten, appearing to waste food despite the high energy cost of hunting. This behavior typically occurs during the salmon spawning season when rivers become crowded with fish, making it easy to catch another one immediately. Instead of eating the entire fish, the bear consumes only the fattiest parts and discards the rest before moving on to the next catch. The video explains that this strategy allows bears to maximize their energy intake without spending time chewing every single salmon they find in the abundant supply.
